Question

In a school, 10% of the boys are same in number as (1/4)th of the girls. what is the ratio of boys to girls in the school?

Answer 1

Let the number of boys in school be b

Let the number of girls in school be g.

Therefore , According to Question , 10% of boys is equal to 1/4 of girls→

10b/100 = 1g/4

or, 4×10b = 100×g

or, 40b = 100g

or, b/g = 100/40

or, b:g = 5:2

Answer→ Ratio of boys to girls is 5:2.

Answer 2

Hi friend!!!!

Let the number of boys in the school be x

And the number of girls in the school be y

Given that,

10% of the boys are same in number as (1/4)th of the girls

10x/100 = 1/4(y)

x/10 = y/4

x/y = 10/4

x : y = 5 : 2

the ratio of boys to girls in the school is 5 : 2.

Hope it helps...
